Offered here for sale has got to be the most documented first generation convertible Camaro on the planet. The huge binder that accompanies the car is packed full of all documentation, photographs, and related starting from birth and continues to date. A complete provenance. I did not take pictures of everything as there is so much but will do so for a specific request. I originally looked at literally hundreds of first generation Camaros searching for this car. There are many out there but unlike this one few have any legitimate documentation and many have been pieced together from multiple cars and reproduction parts. Additionally this car was purchased by a Canadian collector, I believe via a Barrett Jackson sale, and I rescued it not only back to the U.S. where a car like this belongs but also back home to within a few miles from where it was originally purchased (see additional info on that below). The only reason I am selling this fabulous car is my son is now in college and my daughter is a high school senior thus this one has to find a new home to help support the cause. In addition to the documentation this car is a special order X-11 code car. The car was specially-ordered locally in Georgia in 1969 by Judson Whatley for his 24th birthday. He kept the car for almost 20 years and apparently was extremely anal saving every piece of paper associated with the purchase and his 20 year ownership of the car. This precedent was continued through the years by others up to and including my period of ownership. You will not find another car documented to this extreme. Very original “Survivor” RARE X11-coded Special Order Camaro. 327ci/210hp manual 3-speed Camaro convertible. Includes one of a kind detailed and comprehensive provenance as well as complete photographic documentation of 1993 correct-color repaint. What Makes This Car Stand Out Above Others?

u CONDITION:
Examples of items in the huge binder include original special order (X-11) paperwork/original Bill of Sale, first gas receipt on purchaser's own street, some kind of original owner's name badge "Judson Whatley, Personnel Division", additional original keys, original Protect-O-Plate and owner's manual, all registration, insurance, and tax related paperwork over the years, original owner's (Judson Whatley) Auto Trader page at time of first sale after 19 years of ownership at 77K miles showing original special order "hockey stick" stripes and other special order options, 1993 restoration and correct-color and only repaint, photos at several car shows to include 1992 Southeastern Nationals, infinite and methodical documentation of any and all repairs to date over the car's life, and everything else one might want to see. I personally added photos of the car in front of the original dealership, located about 20 miles from my home, as well as next to the new retro Camaros. The third generation family owner of the still in business dealership (Andean Chevrolet in Cumming, Georgia) spent time looking at the car and reviewing the original documentation. He specifically commented his late Mother's signature on the original Bill of Sale and made a copy of it for himself. He also provided a hand-written letter on Andean letterhead for the binder as well as some dealership decals and trinkets. I added some additional pictures to include departure from Canada and arrival back to its original home in Georgia. Added the GT Parade booklets and photos as well. Also included is the prior Alberta, Canada plate. Car still wears it's 1993 restoration repaint which presents very well. No rust anywhere, no scratches, no dents, just a few very minor nicks touched up in the past with correct match touchup paint. Car has parade boot, as well as original jack and spare tire. Body panels including floor pans and trunk are believed to be original. The car was featured in a commercial 5 years ago which is still on YouTube at the link below. Car is driven regularly and can easily be driven anywhere with no concern. Has been driven in the last two Georgia Tech homecoming parades and the rare and original color Olympic Gold is very similar to the color of the Ramblin' Reck color of the mascot vehicle. Car can be made available with adequate notice for professional inspection or personal visual inspection. $1000 non-refundable deposit due within 48 hours of auction close. Car is will be also for sale locally shortly and I reserve the right to end the auction early. Thank you for looking at my auction and good luck. You will not be disappointed! You will not find a better documented and unmolested original First Generation Camaro plus the unique X-11 code special order features. If you would like any additional information do not hesitate to contact me via ebay email. Don |

800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray priced from $51,995*
Fri, 26 Apr 2013After months of speculation, Chevrolet has finally revealed the official starting price of the 2014 Corvette Stingray. The base MSRP for the 450-horsepower Stingray Coupe will be $51,995, while the Stingray Convertible will go for $56,995 (*both prices include a $995 destination fee). This means that the price increase from 2013 to 2014 is just $1,400 for the coupe and $2,395 for the convertible - pretty modest increases considering the upgrade in specifications. Of course, neither price accounts for the sort of dealer markup that might grace early C7 window stickers, especially since less than a third of all Chevrolet dealers will be allocated Corvette models to sell at the car's launch.
Now, these prices are for the base car, so if you're wondering how much a fully loaded Stingray will run, Chevy has given us a good indication of that as well. The coupe we saw on display at the Detroit Auto Show (shown above), for example, would run $73,360 including options such as the $2,800 Z51 Performance Package, $2,495 competition sport seats and the $1,795 Magnetic Ride Control option - just to name a few. Stepping up to the 3LT trim level that brings a full leather interior will run an extra $8,005 over the base price.
While $20,000 in options may seem like a lot, this "as-tested" price still has the C7 competitively priced against rival coupes like the Porsche 911 and Nissan GT-R. Speaking of price comparisons, Chevrolet also points out that the C7 Stingray Z51 costs $2,200 less than the C6 Grand Sport while delivering better acceleration (0-60 mph in less than four seconds) and improved track performance (including more than 1 g in cornering).
